Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 672 - 198: Monster Shell

Gao Gong knew that the three Corporate Wills would inevitably cause trouble.

Sister Rose knew this too.

She had been in charge of the three Bionic Groups for years and had already figured out the ways of the Bionic society.

It seemed that every Bionic Man had free will, but in fact, when it came to controlling personality, humanity, and thought, few Carbon-Based Civilizations could compare.

It was a thoroughly high-totalitarian world.

And the totalitarian rulers did not rely on bloodline inheritance or military monopoly, but a kind of Gestalt Will.

The difference between Gestalt Will and Hive Will.

Hive Will is an absolute will.

Gestalt Will, on the other hand, is more like a collection of thoughts, with each person’s brain being a factor. Combine them, and you can produce a Gestalt.

In the Cyber Era, it manifests as Corporate Will.

So when the Black Rose merged with the three Super Bionics enterprises, it was destined that she had to have a showdown with the Gestalt Will.

The ’Grid’, ’Will’, and ’Shell’ left a backdoor in Gao Gong’s body, initially intended to deal with the Black Rose.

And the Black Rose also needed this kind of backdoor to use the Metabolism Queen’s power to counterattack the Gestalt.

In an instant, Gao Gong’s metabolism skyrocketed, as if someone had crammed tens of thousands of people alive into him, and these ’people’ nearly blew apart every Human Body System he had.

Gao Gong also knew that he must serve as a bridge to complete this ’troop transport’.

The next moment, Great Serpent Mode was activated.

Where the pure white aura passed, everything turned to dust.

At the same time, Great Serpent Gao Gong’s body became entwined with transparent space flames, licking through the void, revealing three graceful black shadows.

These three joined forces within the ’Body of No Concern’ to seal the Black Rose.

And with the Metabolism Queen’s power, one of the shells visibly swelled, turning into a flesh ball.

Gao Gong could see that it was ’Will’, originally the most intelligent and spiritually powerful ’Artificial Will’, but weak before physical attacks.

In the next moment, she exploded on the spot.

Countless bits of flesh sprayed from her body like snakes, shooting endlessly as if the snake nest had been pierced.

Logically, this shouldn’t be possible.

No matter how bionic the Bionic Shells are, when life stops, what’s left are various polycarbonate and polyester materials.

However, the Metabolism Queen’s power transformed it into living flesh.

This flesh disintegration, in turn, heavily damaged the Gestalt Will.

The second to collapse was the ’Grid’.

Similar to the previous scene, except this time, what sprayed out were blood-stained Neural Lines, as dense and persistent as rain.

But when the Metabolism Queen attacked the last ’Black Rose’, she encountered significant trouble.

Cracks appeared on Black Rose’s ceramic-like skin, but these cracks did not explode like the previous two.

This was not surprising.

Although the previous occupant of the ’Pure White Shell’ had been hacked, and the Corporate Will seemed brainless, it was because she wasn’t good at virtual matters; the ’Combat Bionic Exoskeleton’ was her forte.

The rampant ’metabolism’ didn’t blow her up.

Instead, threads of blue light surged from the darkness, seemingly repairing her ’body’, making her shell more suited for this level of ’physical metabolism’.

’She’s using the ’Body of No Concern’ function to forcefully alter her body’s parameters to adapt to us.’

Black Rose’s voice, cold as Arctic ice, echoed in Gao Gong’s ear.

Gao Gong said nothing; the next moment, space flames broke through the void and landed on ’Black Rose’.

Her exterior instantly turned charred and visibly carbonized.

The attack of two ’Destruction Forms’, especially with fully developed Destruction Ability, was a rare privilege on the entire planet.

However, the ’String Fire’ grew heavier, and the ’blue glow’ only grew brighter.

It seemed that the ’Body of No Concern’, a special Level 3 Civilization architecture, was resisting destruction in this way.

"Can your backdoor be any bigger?"

Black Rose asked.

"..."

The rich lady was getting more extravagant.

After a moment of silence, Gao Gong endured humiliation and said:

"Give me one minute."

"30 seconds."

"Fine!"

In 30 seconds, Gao Gong watched as the ’Pure White Shell’ incarnated Black Rose. After her eyeballs burned out, they regrew into a pair of dark purple pupils, bright like stars.

After her braincase melted, a new one grew, with her ’red hair’ gently swaying, stirring a change in space parameters.

Likewise, subtle changes occurred in her arms, thighs, and abdomen, making her more seductive and more dangerous.

Both understood that in this situation, it wasn’t the three resisting—as in ’Pure White Shell’, ’Artificial Will’, or ’Electronic Grid’.

But rather, the Corporate Will of the six Bionic giants, each dividing a portion of the ’Gestalt Will’, jointly resisting the two’s refining.

Unlike the Insect Nest Consciousness where, for example, killing the Blade Queen avatar would severely injure or kill the Insect Nest Consciousness.

But the ’Gestalt Will’ is entirely different; no matter how many shells you kill, it can’t be harmed at all.

Because its true form is the entire Bionic Society.

From this perspective, it bears some resemblance to the Memory Mother.

seconds passed in a flash.

A quick glance at the system panel showed that under the full efficiency of the 5.0 version of the Biological Computer, the ’Secondary Carbon Fusion’ was rapidly deduced.

No time to check the attributes of the Secondary Carbon Fusion, Gao Gong chose to liberate on the spot.

Based on the secondary liberation under the Great Serpent Mode!

The next moment, Gao Gong felt changed, the surrounding space rapidly expanding and contracting.

The Purple String Space unfolded, space lines stretched endlessly to the point of snapping.

However, the ’Rhombic Mirror’ formed by the space coordinates kept replicating in this state, transforming the entire space into a purple mirror sphere that completely enveloped Gao Gong.

Have I become amber?

Thoughts melted like accumulated snow, and in the process of melting, I seemed to ’see’ time flowing by my ears, species evolving through chaos and reproducing through control, physical laws brutally inserted into machines, while technological logic was similarly brought into life.

Split and mutation formed a collectively evolving entire system.

As for Gao Gong himself, during this process, did he become an ’outer shell box’?

Inside the box, is an indescribable ’biosphere’?

Seemingly not only biology, but also technology, physical laws, wisdom, and systems.

When the ’accumulated snow’ completely melted, Gao Gong finally came back to reality, opened his mouth, and spat out a strip of space debris like a white wave.

Looking down to examine himself, he discovered that under the Secondary Great Serpent Mode, his entire body had turned transparent, like a human-shaped piece of purple jade.

Almost unable to move.

This change was beyond Gao Gong’s expectations.

The Purple String Space had actually completely merged with him.

Unlike Gao Gong’s ’stagnation’, the Black Rose parasitizing within Gao Gong felt the ’back door wide open’.

Endless metabolism rushed into the Body of No Concern.

Neural System, Endocrine System, Circulatory System, Respiratory System...

Countless chemicals gushed out, the mist completely covering another ’Black Rose’.

Heat, respiration, oxygen, protein synthesis, matter and energy interaction, conversion of chemicals and chemicals, together forming the tall phantom of a queen.

The ’Black Rose’ stared fiercely at the other party, a voice emanated from her throat, an angry electronic sound.

"You will destroy the entire Bionic Realm!"

"Do you think why I want to control all the bionic giants," the huge phantom approached the other party, the red hair covering her eyes was blown open by chemical smoke, revealing an eye maddened to the extreme.

"I just want to completely destroy you all!"

...

Half an hour later,

In an office building that pierces through the clouds,

Countless bionic employees once again appeared in the lobby, offices, and laboratories, walking hurriedly, as if the previous emptiness was just an illusion.

Gao Gong leaned against the doorway, with a close-fitting leather jacket, the internal modified prosthetic body faintly visible, along with thick burlap pants, gear necessary for scavengers and bounty hunters to resist bites from low-level Radiation Beasts to a certain extent.

This wasn’t Gao Gong’s own style, but an image crafted by Sister Rose.

This image seemed out of place in this top-tier workplace, with many white-collars casting disdainful looks as they passed by.

Gao Gong felt his jacket pocket bulging, reached in, and found a box of factory-brand cigarettes, indifferent to others’ gazes, he pulled one out and bit it in his mouth.

But just as he lit it, it was snatched away by someone, who took a deep drag, releasing white smoke from red lips.

Those around, witnessing the scene, looked as if their eyes would fall out.

The person before them was their top boss.

"You’ve changed your body?" Gao Gong raised his eyebrows.

The Black Rose before him wasn’t the one he remembered, resembling more the previous ’Pure White Shell’, her doll-like skin making her appear like a young girl.

"This will be my shell from now on."

"What about your original body?"

"Do you care that much?" The Black Rose gave an alluring smile, with crimson nails lifting his chin.

Gao Gong paused in thought, then said:

"Unfamiliar with the place and people, it’s inconvenient in general."

"You will get familiar quickly," the Black Rose squinted her eyes, "This shell is incredibly powerful."

Gao Gong sent an investigation forward only to see a crimson question mark and a column of bioenergy with numerous zeros.

Thirty million bioenergy!!

Gao Gong’s eye twitched hard.

The infusion of two types of Destructive Energy, six ’Gestalt Wills’, plus the manic restoration of the ’Body of No Concern’.

What kind of monster has been created?

"Is leaving now not a problem?" Gao Gong asked again.

"In the short term, they can’t stir any trouble," the Black Rose exhaled a puff of smoke, gazing into the distance, chuckling softly.

Gao Gong nodded, placing his palm on her shoulder, and in the next moment, they vanished instantly.
